José Luís Landeira wrote an opinion article titled "Why we need a gaze toward the ground," in which he explores the relationship between Brazil and Portugal and the need for a new perspective to understand the future.
The author argues that it is necessary to develop a different gaze to see what lies ahead, characterized as humble, intimate, and dialogical. This approach contrasts with broader or more distant perspectives.
Landeira highlights that the common roots between Brazil and Portugal form the basis of this reflection, pointing to the importance of looking at the ground, at the small, and at the everyday as a source of hope and learning. It is in this intimate context that one can learn to see the new.
